2013 (P) Mount Rushmore National Memorial Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-015

Description

This WDDR-015 is a doubled die reverse on the 2013 Mount Rushmore issue of the America the Beautiful Quarters program. The program's 56 designs honored national parks, forests, seashores, and monuments from 2010 through 2021, with five new reverses introduced each year through 2020 (one in 2021). The Philadelphia Mint's production run employed numerous working dies, each created through hubbing where design transfer from hub to die can produce the positional errors that result in doubled dies. Joseph Menna's depiction of workers carving the faces of Washington and Jefferson in South Dakota granite provided distinctive design elements to examine for traces of doubling. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID: 2013-P 25c SD WDDR-015. The gap from WDDR-013 to WDDR-015 indicates an intermediate variety exists in the catalog sequence between these two entries.
